NASA is using KollabNet – 7/14/2005
Lancaster, PA – NASA Langley is using
KollabNet. One of its applications is on an
innovative robotics project at Langley's
Robotics and Intelligent Machines Lab.
Project Engineer Sam Miller says:
"The project focuses around
designing/building/programming an
omni-directional robot with a sensor package
that includes a reconfigurable scalable
computer (RSC) system, an x-ray fluoroscope,
a visual-spectrum fluoroscope, an Air Force
Research Lab acoustic array, plus IR,
omni-directional, and stereoscopic cameras.
The platform is designed as a mobile
technology-demonstration platform for all
the sensors above, with the RSC eventually
forming the data-processing core of the
robot.
"We are looking to KollabNet to help us
capture and manage the knowledge we generate
in all stages of the product design,
particularly the very early stages - where
ideas are transitory and short-lived, but
nevertheless have great impact on the
project's overall trajectory."
"As with any engineering project, there are
a large number of tradeoffs in each area of
our enterprise (price, size, power, time,
etc.). We believe KollabNet will help us
address these diverse requirements for the
greatest benefit of the five independent
research teams involved, by tying all the
team's individual requirements together and
dynamically tracking/analyzing them as the
project progresses."
About KollabNet
KollabNet, Inc., is all about increasing
manufacturer profitability. We produce
enterprise-level software for design
knowledge capture, requirements capture,
impact analysis, and rationale capture.
Working with leading large and mid-size
manufacturers, KollabNet automates portions
of their design engineering process never
before addressed by software. For a demo and
